“Do these have oil in them?” seems to be the burining question I get lately. The ‘these’ I mention are in fact the Lipid drops we carry in the Bella line. We as a society do two things with our skin…

1) Over exfoliate and 2) are deathly afraid of oil, as we should be.

The old adage “not all things are what they seem” comes into my head as lipids have NO OIL at all and in fact are a natural substance found in the body. One of the things people remark most about babies is, of course, their ‘baby soft skin.’ This is because when we are born we have a natural lipid barrier that acts as a seal to lock moisture into the skin. As we age, this ’seal’ diminishes and we lose the valuable lipid barrier thus looking dry and dull.

Lipid drops are clinically proven to increase skin smoothness and rapidly replace the moisture balance within the skin. It is made up of only a few ingredients they are: Sphingolipids–These are ‘bio identical’ to those found in the skin and are made up by the outermost layer of the skin. They retain moisture. They are also made up of ceramides–These are a natural part of the cell membrane and are critical in helping the skin to maintain it’s moisture binding and protective barrier functions.

Ironically enough, just a small dab of the Lipids during a demonstration has people sold. They immediately are afraid of the texture and assume it is oil and will leave their skin looking greasy. About 2 minutes into the demo they see the texture of their skin start to change and their skin is anything but oily. In fact, they comment that their skin has taken on a new glow and is soft, supple and BABY SOFT!!! Next thing I know is I cannot keep the product on the shelves. Miracle product??? You decide. I certainly think so…
